Workaround for CM7 wifi issues

So yesterday, after having CM7 loaded for about 2 weeks, my wifi stops working.. After doing a bit of research I discover its a common problem, so I try the various solutions including changing the number of channels and both upgrading & downgrading my radio image, but nothing works.. Somewhere along the line I lost my ClockWorkMod recovery image & being the newbie that I am I decided to go back to the start & follow the process that I initially used to root (the one at unlockr.com), but at the last step, instead of installing the rootedupdate.zip file I decided to try my luck with installing CM7 again, & lo & behold it worked, wifi's working again...
not really sure which step of the root process fixed the issue but if I had to guess I'd say the correct radio image was flashed, maybe someone could properly identify the correct solution...?

My adb logcat session shows that its trying to connect to some network that is unavailable and fails. ı tried to remove the 2nd , 3rd offline networks and it started working.

thanks very much deleting the saved networks worked!! wifi back on

Indeed it works...but only for the first time. As soon as you disable WiFi and enable it once again, the problem is back. So you will have to delete the saved networks one by one, each time you want to connect and in the end you will have no more saved networks left (like me). Now the only "workaround" is to enter the network details every time I want to connect.

Is there still ni working solution for this?

still no WLAN
Having to choose the lesser evil between:
no GPS under CM 7.1 or
no WLAN under CM 7.0.3 I chose the latter.
The antenna works, tethering too, the signal is detected, but logging into a WLAN fails, it keeps scanning over and over. Deleting other networks didn't work.
Any hint?
BTW, I tried 7.2 nightlies... since Market (aka g-Play) is missing there is no real use so far.
Apart from that - CM rules!

I am using both of them right now and it is okay.
Sometimes I won't get any GPS fix and I have to switch it off and on again (or restart the phone in the worst case) to have signal.
CM 7.1 with latest radio (7.13.35.13).

Using cm7.2 last nightly and every thing works just fine! Give it a try!

The radio should be the difference here as it seems that CM > 7.1 don't have GPS bugs anymore.

Update your radio version to newest (7.13.35.13). Everything work fine in CM7.2 for me.

I know it s been a bit but thanks for the info helped alot deleting the random networks while out and about after deleting 3 wifi runs great

Wi-Fi doesn't work till reboot, not able to route

I am having this issue and really need help. I am running Paranoid Android 2.16 on my nexus 7.
The device is connected to wi-fi network, and I am routing fine. Yet, all of a sudden, I am not able to route with any browser.
I reboot the device, and after that wi-fi works perfectly and I am able to route.
This happens with any wi-fi network that I have tried.
The reboot solves this issue, yet i an tired of constantly rebooting.
Please help me solve this issue.

Upgrade to Paranoid Android 3.6 would be the first step I would perform to troubleshoot this problem.

Wifi Problems with several ROMS (Lineage/Ressurection)

Hi,
Right now I'm having issues with my Moto G4 Play and wifi. The problems is kind of reproducible ... after some days.
ROMs tried:
RR-N-v5.8.3-20170707-harpia-Official.zip
lineage-14.1-20170711-nightly-harpia-signed.zip
Symptoms:
- Wifi Scan doesn't work any more ... just showing SSID from some hours before
- Even not possible to connect to wifi when entering the SSID and security settings manually
- Disabling / Enabling the wifi doesn't help
Solution:
- Right now ... only a reboot fixes the problem
Anybody here facing the same problem?
Regards stefan1384

Had the same issue here as well but I swapped routers a day back and it hasn't happened again so far. Using RR-N-v5.8.3-20170707-harpia-Official.zip.

Probable solutions:
1. Reset your network settings of the modem/router if possible.
2. Flash the modem file from the latest available stock ROM and then clean flash the custom ROM.
3. Give the necessary logs (modem logs and dmesg along with the logcat) when you re produce the issue.

While not questioning the fix in your specific case the loss of WiFi scanning capability at the device level has absolutely nothing to do with the local AP (router).

Hello,
thanks for your feedback. With the Wifi APs it's a little bit complicated ... can't force the company where I'm working to replace their equipment ... I'm still not sure if it's caused by my home wifi or wifi at work.
I updated now to the latest lineage build: lineage-14.1-20170718-nightly-harpia-signed.zip maybe it's already solved there otherwise I'll maybe try to install a newer SomeFeak Kernel.
I'll post updates here.
Regards

[Help] Can't turn on wifi

Hi there, I got an issue on the OOS 4.5.12 after 3 days of using it. I got the problem , that the button looks stuck. I can click it and it will change its own color, but it doesnt turn on my wifi. Now I know I can clean flash the update again, but In want to know if someone had/has this problem too, and if someone maybe knows a work-around.
Edit: So I tested the device furthermore and found out, that I can't turn my Wi-Fi hotspot on... Wiping dalvic/ART cache didn't work neither...

Strange.... I didn't have this problem at all.

Same until today ? I will try to dirty flash the update, just to see if this will solve the problem. If it doesn't work, then I will be switching back to 4.5.10 OOS

When I got this error I found out it was because I flashed new firmware and used an older kernel which didn't support the new firmware. You should read your logcat and see if there is any clue there.

Hello. Calling for help!
I have the exact same issue except i am able to launch and use WIFI. When i try to enable portable hotspot it gets stuck on "Turning on". The hotspot button in the slider shows enabling but the hotspot never gets enabled. I was on OOS 4.5.15 and upgraded to 5.1.5 after which i restored only the DATA partition from TWRP. I am currently rooted. I tried with editing the build.prop file and restarted but the issue is persistent. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I would recommend a clean flash to test without restore old data.

Thank you for replying. I dug a bit deeper last night. Deleting the entire wifi folder from root and restarting fixed the issue.

I had a lot of problem with wifi after flashed a not stock rom. Nobody could me help until I find the solution. Tell me Jelly do you have mac address or it show 02:00:00:00:00:00?

No internet without Wifi

Hello,
after installing Atom + Gapps + Magisk ROM,
Internet access without Wifi does not work!
Even if I activate the LTE (4G) option, it does not work with Firefox for example
Already had this problem with other ROMS
I can't find any particular option other than activating WIFI
Provider: Bouygues Telecom
Thanks for your help

Currently, I switched to COLTOS-v6 dating from 10/14/2020
Same operation.
I check if the installation of the ROM has been done according to the recommendations of the person in charge, a priori, everything has been done correctly.

With a clean install of EvolutionX 4.7 with Magisk 20.4, no more problems at all.
For the other ROMs, I will wait for the switch to Android 11
I even found that the Magisk problem was solved
Everything's fine
